Sermons from The Crossing Church (TCCJAX) Jacksonville, FL

Holiness is often thought of as flawless perfection, but it is never used that way in scripture. To be Holy is to be set apart, consecrated for a different purpose. We are called to be Holy (set apart) from the world around us so that we can testify in our lives to the Goodness of our God and give Hope to the world around us.

As followers of Christ, we do not endure the difficulties and trials of this world like the rest. Our hope isnot powerless and dead – it is alive. We have a Living Hope rooted in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Son of God, Jesus.

Bottom Line: We give because he first gave us himself.

So easily we fall into the trap of thinking our salvation is ours alone and that we are just to wait for Jesus’return or our own death. But God tells us that we are to serve his kingdom and not our own, we are to be about our Father’s business, serving others and so serving Him.

Description: The Gathering of God’s people has increasingly become voluntary, preferential, and optional. Scripture, on the other hand, describes the Gathering as essential for both our own lives here and for the advancement of God’s kingdom!

God created us to worship Him. Yet our worship wanders and is sometimes hijacked by the enemy. We must give attention to our worship and ensure that the object of our worship is God alone!

God has provided us with fasting as a means of grace. It is often overlooked and yet our Lord Jesus Christ assumed it would be a part of our relationship with our Father in heaven.
